There's significance in the wisdom of a child, even more in one like Henry. It's no small matter that Archie Hopper's moment of illumination came at the bottom of a mine shaft where they both could have died.

And above all, there's the very real significance that he's stood up to the one person in Storybrooke, outside of perhaps Mr. Gold whom he only associates with when absolutely necessary, that could crush him like a bug.

Yet, once Marco has bid him goodnight he and Pongo return to the office and a stack of files. And mostly full bottle of scotch, leading to a tumbler of scotch... and quite naturally a belly of scotch as he considers the decisions he's made.

"Do you?" Graham asks.

Archie's words are almost like a balm, allowing him to exhale with relief.

It isn't even just the attraction to her, though there is that. (And to deny it would make him even more ridiculous than he already is.) It's something else too, something he can't even begin to understand but it thrums beneath his skin, like an itch he can never reach.

"What is it about Emma? It's -"

He rubs his face.

"Yes."

Graham shakes his head.

"I'm sorry if this wasn't exactly what you had in mind to do tonight," he says. "It's been a long day for all of us."
